Which microdermabrasion method uses an abrasive tip attached to a vacuum?

• A. Non-particle microdermabrasion
• B. Particle microdermabrasion
• C. Ultrasonic exfoliation
• D. Chemical peel

Answer: (A)

The method described uses a solid abrasive tip, such as a diamond tip, that mechanically abrades the skin while suction pulls away the dead cells and debris. That combination—abrasive tip plus vacuum suction without loose crystals—is the hallmark of non-particle microdermabrasion (often called diamond-tip microdermabrasion). In contrast, particle microdermabrasion relies on a spray of abrasive crystals that are directed at the skin and then removed by suction, ultrasonic exfoliation uses high-frequency vibrations to loosen surface cells, and a chemical peel uses acids to dissolve the top layer. So the abrasive-tip-with-vacuum approach fits non-particle microdermabrasion.
